As probably the last guy u sold wheels 2 before leaving Driversinc, just wanted to say (as u mentioned above) that after a few minutes talking U figured out I was serious and U could deliver--and I couldn't be happier with the "Schott's" ---As a buyer I try to convey quickly I'm "ready to buy" to a vendor--but with questions answered.......good luck Jon and enjoy that beer with Dave!!!! thanx again......jim

Its simple and a lot of customers are in the dark these days and continue to buy parts from companies that Frankly don't know WTF they are doing!

We have VERY good relationships with the manufactures we deal with and encourage our customers to call and checkup on us....we have nothing to hide and we aren't on anyones $hit list (its amazing how big that list has gotten and some of the worst are forum vendors as most of you can see!)

We offer customer service with every order FREE
We discount when we can but we make $$ as we should
We order your parts with the manufacture right away
We don't rob peter to pay paul...as you have witnessed, some vendors do, thats why you are still waiting for parts and will NOT get a refund!
We answer the phone during business hours
We have a staff that do their jobs and know what is expected of them
We don't use credit or get loans
We pay up front
We have been in biz almost 11 years, we must know what we are doing!
We have a good reputation....in general, not just on the forums

Thats my .02 as I try to stay out of these types of threads unless they are directed at us!

We sell millions in parts every year and have never even considered taking an order and not sending a PO so the parts will ship....anything less is fraud, BS, unethical, rude, stupid, ect.....the hole you dig doing biz that way will never be filled. You show your true colors in the way you do biz with a customer the first time and all the way through!

I have heard sooooo many stories from members here on how they got screwed and I can't believe the BS they are fed.....we are adults....not a bunch of dumba$$es

Every customer deserves respect, customer service and most important to get the parts they paid for....its a pretty simple business model, at least to me as I was taught by my late father who ran his own business for 30 years! God bless him, he had a reputation like MCB

Its Friday....go have fun this weekend....you get one life PERIOD

Capitalism and commodisation (spelt the proper aussie way)

This has been going on for centuries and will for many more. In short the market place just continues to expand

First it was you sold local in the 1 horse town you had the only blacksmith shop

Then you could sell to the county and you competed

Then the state with more competition

Then it become national competition

Then regional (ie north American)

Then globally.....

What's next

Basically the market evolves. Buyers have more choice sellers have more competition

As consumers we demand this
